<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 All right, what if I cut my hand with a knife now, and I fall down dead. The doctor comes in a pronounces me dead; they take me over to the morgue, or the funeral home. They embalm my body with a fluid that makes me look natural for fifty years yet. Let every doctor in the United States, Germany, and wherever the great scientists are, come in and give me a shot of penicillin every day. Sew that place up, put all the Merthiolate, sulfa drug, everything we got in it. In fifty years from today that cut will look just exactly the way it did when it was cut. If medicine heals the human body, why don't it heal it?
"Well," you say, "the life is gone out."
"That's right. Now, what's life? You tell me what life is, I'll tell you Who God is. See?"

L-11 Medicine doesn't build tissue. God builds tissue. See? Doctors... Now, not condemning them, God knows, no, sir. We--we respect them, and they're our--our friends. They're God's servants and we respect them. And they don't claim to be healers; they only... They could come, like if you cut your hand, it's a good thing to do, go to the doctor and let him sew it up, put the drug, and ever--whatever he puts in it to keep it clean. But he has to turn it over to God then to heal it.
You got a bad appendix, the doctor looks down, say, "You have a bad appendix, sir. Well, we'll just trust God and take that thing out, all right?"
Go down and take it out. Take it out, then the doctor sews it up. You're not well. He just takes the appendix out. Now, what about the healing? God has to do that. Is that right?

L-12 You break your arm. Go down to the doctor. What does he do? Say, "Just a minute, I'll pure a little of this cure all on it and..." Now, that would be a quack. See? So he'll... What he does, he sets the arm; that's what he knows. He looks through the x-ray and finds out if he's got all the bones setting right. He puts it in a splint, and you hold it that way for several days. And then God heals it. And you take... Doctor never healed it, he just set it; God healed it. See?
Now, don't condemn the doctor, and the doctor shouldn't condemn God. We should all work together. Don't you think so? There's mighty fine things today. It's too bad the selfish motives that's  are in man.

L-13 Now we have chiropractic. The medical doctor condemns the chiropractor; the chiropractor condemns the medical doctor. Osteopath, they condemn both. And all of them together condemn Divine healing.
You know what I'm thinking? The osteopath does a lot of good things; the chiropractor does too. The medicine does also. Surgery does also. Even a medical doctor sometime condemn a surgeon. The surgeon condemn a medicine doctor. What's the matter? Forgive me, doctor, whoever you are. I don't mean to insult you, but I'm only making a statement before people. We need you, and we need one another.
It looks to me like that anyone that would condemn anything that would help anyone, they--it's a selfish motive. There's something wrong with the person. If we just all forget that, osteopath, chiropractic, medical doctor, surgeons, ministers, and all work together to try to help our fellow man, to make life a little better for them, to make their journey a little more pleasant, I think God would be more pleased with all of us. Don't you think so? So if our motives are right, our hearts are right with God, we're trying to do everything we can to help make life a little more blessed for each one.
